Nitro Glvcerine on a Tear

CLEVELAND, o., June 3O.-A terrific
explosion occurred at Findlay, Ohio,
yesterday in the nitro glycerine factory
OF K. n. Mccoy, which was blown up.
There were nearly one Thousand pounds
exploded in the building. The ooncus-
sion caused people for miles around to
think an earthquake had occurred. The
factory was blown to atoms, but for
tunately nobody was hurt. A hole fif-
teen feet deep and fifty feet across the
top was made In the ground, many trees
were blown down, an acre or more of
wood land is devastated, and for a great
distance from the site of the factory,
bark was torn from the trees.

Location OF lac Clty Hall.

Editor LIGHT:
The very liberal offer of Mrs. MAYER
lex to donate lot on avenue q to the
city, for the site OF the new city hall,
seems to cut the gOrdian knot as to
where the city hall should be located.
am clear that Ii should not be placed
on either OF the plaZas for several sogent
reasons. First and foremost, not one Of
the plaZas are sufficient in size for the
needs Of the city, and the erection Of
the city hall on either one would greatly
CurtRil Its area. As the city increases
its population, its need Of plaZHs will al
so increase, and there is no room to
doubt a rapid increase in the pOpula-
tion in the near future. The city prison
on one OF the plaZas would be constant
eye sore to the citizens. A Jail Is not
suggestive of pleasant thoughts and as
sOCiatiOns, and that for that reason,
should not be located on one OF the
plans dedicated to the public. In no
city in the United States, Is the city hall
and jail located in public park or
plaza and San Antonio should not be
the first to introduce so vicious plan.
Again, the city hall, no matter how
tasteful and handsome it might be. in
design and finish, would have the effect
to mar the beauty Of the plaza.
The site on Avenue O is sufficiently
central, though | attach but small i'm
pOrtance to mere Centrality Of location.
Avenue G already has street-car line
and is to the full as accessible as is the
Military plaza, while 1t is less exposed
to the noise Of passing vehicles.
The building of the city hall on the lot
proposed to be donated by Mrs. MAYER
lex will save the city probably $4,000,
and leave the entire fund of 500, 900 to be
applied to the erection OF the build
ing-a circumstance that should
possess great weight with the municipal
authorities. 1t would be nonsense to
cxpend from $40 to 1900 uselessly, and
| will not presume that the city authorl-
ties will be guilty OF any such reckless
expenditure OF the city funds. Any eX-
penditure, which is useless and I'M
necessary, is bound to be reckless and
nnjustitiable.
The plazas will be improved and
beautified in process Of time, and will
| thus become the pride and ornament Of
| the city, which they could not do, were
| the city prison stuck in the middle OF
one OF them.
Plazas, squares and parks, vacant
places are prOmOtive of health In cities
since they afford chance for the breezes
to circulate.
am decidedly opposed to sticking
the city prison in the middle OF either OF
the plaZas. ROSCOE.

Sharpe Denies the Bribing.

New YORK, June 3O.-The verdict in
Sharpe's case was reached on the first
ballot. AS Sharpe stepped to the pave
ment on his arrival at the jail, after the
conclusion of the trial, he said: BOYS,
now it's all over; I'll tell you that
never gave one penny to Alderman
Fullgratf or any other alderman,
and had no hand in the bribery of the
other aldermen" With this the old
man seemed to break down. On enter
ing the Jail he went to his room at once,
where he was soon joined by his wife.
He mOaned and tossed about restlessly
all night. He was up at 1880 this morn
ing and psrtoOk of light breakfast.
Mrs. Sharp did not close her
eyes during the long, weary night, and
looked sick and fatigued this morning.
She does all that she can to keep her
grief concealed from her husband, who
speaks bnt little to either her or Warden
Heating and seems complete wreck o.
his former self.

IS 1T SOLD2
STARTLING RUMOR IN THE CITY IN
EFFECT
That the Santa Fe Railway Men Had
Gobbled the Arkansas
Pass Road.

| That the Santa Fe Railway Men Had
Gobbed the Arkansas
Pass Road.
A street rumOr quite prevalent on our
streets today and yesterday TO the effect
! that the Arkansas Pass railway had been
/ sold out by Messrs. Lott and Kennedy TO
the Atohison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
way managers, has been worked up by
| the LIGHT and the facts CLEANED closely
enough To show that while as yet there
| IL nothing definite about Ii, such sale
was talked OF between these railway
| people some time ago. Parties in this
! city holding large amounts OF the bonds
Of the Arkansas Pass railway know moth
| ing OF the alleged sale, or at least they
viii not pretend to know anything.
The attorney for this road knows moth
ing Of il, but other prominent citizens
and wealthy men seemingly Interested
and in position to know, say they
| would not be surprised II such were
the case. A large amount Of
the bonds OF the road have lately been
sold in New York and Boston by Presi-
dent LoJ, and probably one million and
a half dollars worth have been sold at
from 90 to 90 cents. A rumor was preva-
lent In New York few weeks ago that
block OF bonds had been bought In
Boston and parties interested in the
Santa Fe road were the purchasers. 1t
is generally credited that this Ia the
transaction that gave rise to the rumor.
If President Lott has succeeded In I'M
loading this amount Of stock he will
then have enough money to pay up all
the outstanding Indebtedness Of the road
thus far incurred and push the north
western extension on TO completion
but II this is the fact, it is thought the
extension toward Galveston and deep
water will be suspended for awhile, or
at least until the Santa Fe can secure
enough interest In the road TO pay them
to make the connection.
Whether this change would benefit
San Antonio or not cannot be determin-
ed. If the Santa Fe people get hold
Of our road they will probably give San
Antonio go-by, and make Kennedy the
junction and the town. Then, they
could push the northwest extension on
| toward Kansas aud have another short
line north and TO the nOrthwesC cattle
| country. 1t Is an assured fact, how
ever, that the Santa Fe railway has
lately been buying up all the railroads
they can lay their hands on, and have
made efforts TO buy the 5. A. =. road.

hartford, Conn, June 3O.-At the
Yale Alumni dinner last night Hon.
Randolph Tucker of Virginia, spoke Of
the pleasant relations which had a.
ways existed between Virginia and Con-
neotiOut. As he sat down, President
Dwight rose and said: yale university
of the state of Connecticut extended
their right hand of fellowship to old
Virginia" Mr.. Tucker sprsng to his
feet, and grasping President Dwight by
the hand, attempted to reply, but the
outburst OF applause was so enthusiast
tic that he stood several minutes hold
ing the president by the hand
before he could be heard. Mr..
Tucker thanked President Dwight
for his noble sentiment and
prayed God to bless the union of Con-
necticut and Virginia and Yale Univer-
sity. This exchange Of fraternal greet
ings and the striking manner in which it
was carried out, created the greatest en-
thusiasm and most favorable comment.
President Dwight then announced that
during the year the gifts Of money
which had been received aggregated
nearly three hundred thousand dollars.
the following story is told concerning
the crown prince: He was gloomy dnr-
ing the return trip from his Bornstadt
estate, but after heavy rain began fall
ing he frightened up wonderfully, and
then turning to an old friend he whis-
pered word to him. The attendant
gentlemen puzzled their brains in vain
as to what important decision had been
cOnfided to his friendly ears. At last,
after much eXertioD, they discovered
that his imperial highness had said:
THANK God! this rain saves my Born
